Understand
We discover that DALLE-2 seems to have a hidden vocabulary that can be used to generate images with absurd prompts.
- For example, it seems that \texttt{Apoploe vesrreaitais} means birds and \texttt{Contarra ccetnxniams luryca tanniounons} (sometimes) means bugs or pests.
- We find that these prompts are often consistent in isolation but also sometimes in combinations.
- We present our black-box method to discover words that seem random but have some correspondence to visual concepts.
